Pros:

- Small, compact and lightweight

- Good build quality, good feeling pads and very sensitive.

- Polyphonic aftertouch

- Infinitely rotating knobs (makes it like a console 1 for plugins)

- You can play keys and it feels okay

- You can change the layout of the keys and select which specific octaves you want to see (if you want the first key to start on G or B or E, that's possible)

- Built-in arpeggiator

- Big touch strip, you can do some tricks with it

- Extensive transport controls using the knobs

- Bright LEDs

- Sequencer function for Studio One

- Integrates really well with Studio One

- Includes Studio One Artist, loops and tons of plugins.

- Black on white looks so cool

Cons:

- Needs some getting used to because of unique layout

- Needs to have a power switch (you cannot turn the lights off instantly)

- Can be very confusing at first
